Scrofula in all its forms is cured
by Hood's Sarsaparilla which
thoroughly purifies the blood.
This disease, which frequently
appears in children, is greatly
to be dreaded. It is most likely
to affect the glands ot neck,
which become enlarged, etup
tions appear on the head and
face, and the eyes are frequently
affected. Upon its first appear-
ance, perhaps in slight eruptions
or pimples, s rofula should be
entirely eradicated irom tile
system by a thorough course o.f
Hood's Sarsaparilla to prevent
ill the painful and sickening
consequences of running sciofula
sores which drain the system,
tap the strength and make exis-
sence utterly wretched.

Hello Again!
This is the second time this
season that we have saluted you.
It was to the ladies before, now
it is to the men. Who are you
going to vote for? The Demo

Republicans promise them a fnli
dinner pail and a bank account

offering biy inducements on
paper but, it often ends there.
Have vou tried us? Hundreds
of customers have tried and
tested us. since we established
the strictly one price business.
We are willing to be tested and
tried again. We know how to
do business only one way, and
that is on the square. No cir
cumstances 01 conditions exist
that make it possible lor conipe
tition to undersell us. ts Giving
Better Value' than others,
is the basic prop of this whole
business. Mitchell's Bee-Hive

will continue on that principle
We have taken the agency for
Elizabeth City, the sale of
Strouss Brothers, High-Art
Clothing.
We have about five hundred
of these beautiful suits on exhK
bition at our store. They are
unquestionably, the best ready
made clothing in this country,
We simply invite you to come
and see them and be your own
judge. They are priced in plain
figures, and that the LOWEST,
and we don't have to play Jew
or take off a little to sell them.
Neithei do we throw in a neck
tie or a pair of snspenders or, a
shiit with the uit, as some
stores do. who claim to sell at
one-price. We give you back
yoin change.
Beware ot any merchant who
throws in a pieseut; you have
paid too much for the clothes
and he owes you some change.
Our line of $1000 suits have
brought irany men to our store.
You would be charged in other
stores about $1400 for these
same suits but, they would take
off some, "AS LONG AS IT
WAS YOU:" that's their way of
doing business We have good
suits for men at 7.00. We
have Letter suits at $12 00. We
have the new style mihtiry,
close fitting coats for young men.
We have stout suits for the extra
large men, and slim suits for the
tall lean man.
We propose to become the
leading clothiers of this town
and have priced our goods so
low, that each suit that leaves
our store, will bring us another
customer. The shoes, the hats,
the ties the gloves, that pro
perly go with them are here
also. The only establishment
that sells to everybody at the
same price. Mitchell's Bee
